Tires and Rally wheels
I have an 80 K10 long bed with a 2" lift. I currently have some old tires and wheels with 33s on them, but the life is less than desireable on those tires, I need new ones. I really like my rally wheels and I painted one in black as a test and it looks amazing, the only issue is that's 15" by 8", and the 33"X12.5" needs at least 8.5" wheels, has anyone fitted 33X12.5s in their 8" wide rallies? Or do I need to get the 10" ones?

Re: Tires and Rally wheels
You'll be just fine with 8" wide wheels. 8.5" is optimum, but think about this; I run tires that are 15.50 wide on 10" wheels. That's 5.5" of difference between the wheel and tire width. Yours is only 4.5. You'll be just fine, plenty of people do it with great results.

I used to run 35x15.50's on stock 8 inch rallies, they were squeezed on there but it worked fine. 12.50's are no problem at all.
